If there is one thing that 2020 is sure to be remembered for, it will be the COVID-19 pandemic. Originating in Wuhan, China, in late November 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic is a respiratory virus that showed a remarkable capacity to spread quickly and effectively. Not only was it quick and effective in transmission, but it also delivered a host of different possible symptoms and long-term side effects to those infected. Precious metals refiners have produced a number of copper round designs with COVID-19-inspired designs, and now there is a silver round option as well with its own unique imagery. Provident Metals now has 2 oz Silver 2020 COVID-19 Rounds with ultra-high-relief visuals available to you for purchase online.
Round Highlights:
When you purchase a 2 oz Silver 2020 COVID-19 Round from Provident Metals, you receive a specimen that is in brand-new condition from the mint with a beautiful ultra-high-relief strike. The purpose of high-relief strikes is to make the design element stand out with 3D relief as much as possible. An ultra-high-relief strike uses several high-pressure strikes with a die during production to develop a deeper visual field and greater 3D relief for the design elements, almost creating a small statue on the surface of the round. Each round here is packaged in its own protective plastic flip.
Obverse
A single molecule of the COVID-19 virus is depicted on the obverse side of 2 oz Silver 2020 COVID-19 Rounds. The COVID molecule has become popular as an attachment to news media segments and news articles regarding the pandemic. To showcase the effective transmission and infection of the virus, its unique spike protein that enables its quick connection to a host was shown to the public time and again.
Reverse
There are three different COVID-19 viral molecules shown in the central design on the reverse of the 2 oz Silver 2020 COVID-19 Round. These molecules almost look suspended in air, as if moving through a host body. Within the central design element, you will notice the date mark of 2020. Around the design rim, you will find the inscription of 2 oz 999 Fine Silver at the top and Minted During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
History
The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged societies around the globe and created tension between citizens and governments as everyone tries to figure out how to cope with the virus and live with it actively transmitting through society. Despite the turmoil it has caused, COVID-19 has also showcased the good of humanity. The world has seen healthcare professionals work tirelessly to care for others and kind neighbors help out those in need as we all try to live through this pandemic.
